The Staves — Eagle Song lyrics

Lyrics

I am a cardinal, red
I am of blood and of bone
And of heart and of head
A thousand miles ahead and behind
Oh, to be lost,
Oh, to be wasting my time
On a hill we lay in the sun
At the foot of a statue
Of old battles lost, battles won
I remember your voice and your clothes
A well chosen passage of words
From a book I don’t know
Oh me, oh my, oh man, what have I become?
Running around
Writing letters I’ll never send home
Call me in the morning I’ll be alright
Call me in the morning I’ll be alright
Call me little honey and I’ll be fine
Call me in the morning, I’ll be OK
Call me in the morning, I’m far away
Call me little darling and I’ll be fine
The eagle flew above us Blankets wrapped around us Lucky that she found us Rooted to the ground
No-one will believe us Mountains as our witness
Blankets wrapped around us The eagle flew above
By the lake
So high
So high
Call me in the morning I’ll be alright
Call me in the morning I’ll be alright
Call me little honey and I’ll be fine
Call me in the morning, I’ll be OK
Call me in the morning, I’m far away
Call me little darling and I’ll be fine
